Not really. You need to add funny parameters like "-vzn0" to shred to shred them with zero and then you still need to unlink them manually. And IMO it is less intuitive than my command chain for this particular purpose. Eduard. -- OpenBSD fails miserably in this respect, and makes for an example of how NOT to work with the community on security issues. Their approach is, roughly, "we fixed this a while ago but didn't tell anyone, so you're vulnerable and we're not, ha-ha-ha". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
